Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved

Hi Tpreaves,
I'm a sucker for punishment.

Petty Officer "threatening" to back out of the dialogue! LOL! What ever are we going to do!?!?

There are no suckers here, nor anyone nieve. If you can't
learn from the past market history of High Res. SACD/
DVD-Audio (And how it applies to marketing of High Res.
Downloads), I can't help you! The history of High Res.
(Disk or Download) has been to continuously rob us blind
with false promises of larger selection. It is a shell
game marketing ploy! I have earned the right to be cynical
about being burned a T-H-I-R-D time (Sheeesh!) with High
Resolution. That doesn't mean that I hope it will fail a
third time (I still use Computer Audio). It means that
I need verification that there is indeed much larger
selection available via High Res. Downloads B-E-F-O-R-E
any concideration of elimination in other Audio Formats.
The old SACD/DVD-Audio arguement that increased selection
is entirely dependent on the elimination of other Audio
Formats- THIS IS CRAP! Applying this same marketing idea
to High Res. Downloads, this is a shell game for someone
else's profitability- NOT YOURS (THE CONSUMER)!!! If you
(The Consumer) will not look after your own interest in
Sound Quality someone will steal it. With an invitation
like that, how can they not? Not against anyone making a
profit, just put on the table (Selection) what it is that
you intend to make a profit off of from me. Let me see it,
let me kick the tires, let me protect myself as a consumer. In what Universe does this make no sense? I am
in the business of purchasing High Res./ High Quality Audio, and I know what I want! A whole lot of "Hot Air",
or "Soon To Be", is NOT Music to my ears. Certainly nothing that I can take to the Bank, certainly nothing that I can use to replace my existing Music Audio Formats!
Atleast something that I can use as a Higher Resolution
Source. In this regard, you have nothing to sell me in
substantial selection of High Resolution. This can change,
B-U-T not by holding my other Audio Formats as hostage.
Holding hostages is prelude to causing Wars, still it makes no sense to you why some of us are so angered by it-
REALLY? Chadeffect- not one word in your response about
Music sampling rate of these Files. Studios are now using
a Format of even higher sampling rate than SACD/DSD for
recording. You can keep on believing that you are getting
the full resolution that was recorded in the Studio, and
paying top dollar for it. By your standard why pay a whole
lot more to download anything of "high Res", if you are
already getting everything recorded in the Studio? What
do I know, I make "NO SENSE"! Can we end this Thread now?
It no longer serves any purpose. It just rubs everyones
emotions raw. Why continue to go there?

"Can we end this Thread now? It no longer serves any purpose". Another threat? Impending doom? LOL!!!

I don't know- Hfisher. Being burned a T-H-I-R-D time
investing heavily in High Resolution (SACD,DVD-Audio,
Downloads), or being burned by you? Somehow I think the
latter is a whole hell of alot cheaper. Maybe cutting my
$$$ LOSES $$$ by limiting them to SACD/DVD-Audio selection
rip-off, perhaps that might be better. You have money to
burn risking on High Resolution Downloads not becoming the
third High Resolution casualty- knock yourself out! Some
of us are just tapped out from this economy, and tapped out
from false promises of SACD/DVD-Audio Selection. Really,
Hfisher, have you learned nothing from this High Resolution
history debacle? The market doesn't really care if it is a
High Resolution Disk, or Download- they are both just as
expensive. The Audio Market has convinced everyone that
"The majority of the American Public are not interested in
higher Audio Sound Quality"- I am! That is the reason why
I try not to allow the market to create a third High
Resolution casuality out of Downloads. The Market wants
cheap, therefore low sound quality. The Manufacturers want
to produce cheap as being way more profitable. SACD, DVD-Audio, and High Resolution Downloads (Expensive) just don't fit that mold! Single Format Market solution will
only end up being the "Final Solution" to High Resolution
Downloads (It will only be SACD/DVD-Audio 2.0). Sad, but
true because you refuse to acknowledge the risk of this
happening despite history of anything High Resolution. Your denial is fuel for this self fulfilling Prophecy. Do as you wish, do your worse! I personally would have liked to have atleast just ONE High Resolution Format that didn't implode- many regrets!!! They pretty much implode
do to apathy, and the lack of any attempt to prevent them
from imploding. You want High Resolution Downloads to
succeed, you have to fight for it. That means taking on the
manufacturers desire to produce Audio cheap, and more profitable. No-one here is willing to do that! R-I-P is
inevitable now with High Resolution, it is already way too
late! Not that this would change anyone's mind here. So
yeah, Another threat, Impending Doom. The only difference
is that it is NOT what I desire, but what you are fulfilling- despite any of my attempts otherwise. So be it-
can we end this Thread now? I will volunteer to be a pole
bearer at the Funeral, if that will make anyone happy.
I kind of liked High Resolution, I am going to miss it-
Thank-you kindly for helping to preserve it. Wish that I
could LOL, really sad day for Audio. What else needs to be said??? How about "Have we learned anything yet?", the
third time around? Guess not!
